Hi all
I want to know the method to use movimento.
I mean calibration, tracking it is understood.
But If now, when I finish all that, I see some problem with the calibration.  
What I have to do? To redo everything from the begining or just import a new calibration and keep my motion tracks.
 
thx

Hi,
 
It is not needed to redo everything from the begining,
you should be able to import a new calibration without any problems.
 
If you encounter a problem, let me know and we'll try to solve it.
The only issue i imagine could be with the imported tracks during
the "import calibration". One workaround would be to delete the
tracks from your calibration project prior exporting it.
 
Hope it helps,
 
Niko

Thanks Niko.
another question:
I Have to film in HD the body of a women who is moving (very close from the hand to the eye).
I need the movment's data of the body (I have 6 mini DV cameras) it is ok.
But in the same time I have to take the momement of the HD camera. I put 3 track ball around the lens of the camera in order to have a plane and later in maya constrain the camera with this 3 point. (hope you follow me  
 
The goal is to had some animated tatto over the body.
 
Is that technique sound OK?
 
I did some test in CGI (because we are shoting in april).
and the result is not very clean, I have to match the camera in Maya and it is quite difficult.
 
thx

Hi,
 
Movimento is able to track the 3D camera motion as well as doing the motion capture.
This is not the simplest workflow but it works.
You don't have in Movimento all the matchmoving features available
in MatchMover Pro but you can add static tracks and manually track them.
 
Proceed as follow:
- Load your sequence (remove the "fixed" constraint) and synchronize them
- Define your work area
- Do NOT use the automatic calibration tool
- Manually add static tracks in the different views and track them in 2D
- Run the solving of the cameras
 
You can now start the motion capture tracking as usual.
 
There are two use cases referenced on the movimento website using a moving camera:
http://movimento.realviz.com/motio [...] ials-8.php
http://movimento.realviz.com/motio [...] ials-6.php ("Jeffy" project)
 
If you don't have enough static tracks visible by your cameras,
you can try to solve your complete solution using all tracks (static and mocap ones)
but the computation might be time consuming and the workflow more complex.
 
Hope it helps,
 
Niko

Ok I see
 
Do you think it will help if, with the HD cam I start the shot with a full shot of the scene with some movment like a dolly from large to close up on the body. Will it help matchmover or movimento to situate better that camera in space. Because when I m filming the body very close I m seeing only  3 or 4 mocap markers per frames, nothing else that not enough to do something.
